I stood beside you
as you slumbered
peaceful in your forever sleep
hopeless washed over helpless
nothing left to do but weep into hands
tied by circumstance
I swear even the angels wept
as they carried you away
I will always wonder
if watching idle was the thing to do
or did I help kill you in my own way.
however it happened,
I know you.
your forgiveness always abounds
someday you will wrap me in your wings
and sing a song to remind me
that we will never have to say goodbye again.
